Happy 4th Birthday!!

Happy 4th Birthday

Arabella!!

Four years old!! So very, very proud of you little one!

Investigating this bag…..trying to figure this all out.

Later in the day doing it again

More presents?

Her therapists remembered her birthday which was so kind. Her teacher brought over a gift. Grandma Turpin sent money. Grannie Annie sent her sheets. Grandma Ball, Nathan, and Mandy dropped by for cake and present opening. So much love for our little girl.

Bella, you are an amazing little girl! We love you! May this be a wonderful year for you as you begin to explore and discover the world around you!

Other amazing events this week (besides pulmonary), Bella went to the dentist. No cavities! G-tube feed kids usually don’t get cavities, but they get terrible build up. He wants to wait a little more before putting her under and taking care of those teeth. Gives me time, too, to get some other things set up. Like taking care of her hernia (from one of her many chest drain tubes). One sedation, two procedures – effective use of sedation!

Well, maybe I’m too close to see you clearlyOr is it now my role to simply believe?You’re just one of those mysteriesThat may never be solved in timeBut you do — you do — you shine

And Sammy will do what Sammy will do when Sammy is ready to do itAnd Trevor will do what Trevor will do when Trevor is ready to do itAnd Lucy will do what Lucy will do when Lucy is ready to do itAnd they’ll do it in their own time
